ABSTRACTWe have investigated the polymeric insulators benzocyclobutene (BCB), parylene C and polyimide for use as gate dielectrics in pentacene organic thin film transistors (TFTs). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to examine the surface roughness of the polymeric dielectrics and the morphology of pentacene films deposited onto them. X-ray diffraction was used to examine the molecular ordering of pentacene films deposited onto the polymeric dielectrics. We find a correlation between the surface roughness of the gate dielectric and the grain size in deposited pentacene films, with smooth surfaces yielding larger, more dendritic grains. Despite significant changes in film morphology, pentacene TFTs using BCB, parylene C, or polyimide as the gate dielectric have performance comparable to devices using SiO2 as the gate dielectric. These results suggest that there is not a strong correlation between pentacene film grain size and field-effect mobility for these devices. Pentacene TFTs using BCB as the gate dielectric had field-effect mobility as high as 0.7 cm2/V-s, on/off ratio > 107, subthreshold slope less than 2 V/decade, and negative threshold voltage, making them an attractive candidate for use in organic-based large-area electronic applications on flexible substrates.

In this study, we fabricated flexible organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) on a polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) elastomer substrate using blends of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and amorphous conjugated polymer poly(9,9- dioctylfuorene-co-bithiophene) (F8T2) as the gate dielectric and semiconducting layer, respectively. All the processes were performed at elastomer-compatible temperatures of below 100 °C. We confirmed the basic properties of the P(VDF-TrFE):PMMA blend film on the PDMS substrate, and the characteristics of the fabricated flexible OTFTs were also evaluated. A subthreshold voltage swing of 2.5 V/decade, an Ion/Ioff ratio greater than 105, field-effect mobility of 1.2×10−3 cm2 V−1 s−1, and a 10−11 A gate leakage current were obtained. These characteristics did not degrade at a bending radius of 1 cm. For the OTFTs, the endurable maximum strain without degradation in the field-effect mobility of the PDMS elastomers was approximately 2%.

Carrier transport in solution-processed organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) based on dioctylben-zothienobenzothiophene (C8-BTBT) has been investigated in a wide temperature range from 296 to 10 K. The field-effect mobility shows thermally activated behavior whose activation energy becomes smaller with decreasing temperature. The temperature dependence of field-effect mobility found in C8-BTBT is similar to that of others materials: organic semiconducting polymers, amorphous oxide semiconductors and hydrogenated amorphous silicon. These results indicate that hopping transport between isoenergetic localized states becomes dominated in a low temperature regime in these materials.

The Stability

AbstractThe stability of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) has become one of the most vital issues in this area of research. In this report, we investigated the stability of rubber stamp printed OTFTs. The electrical properties such as saturation field effect mobility, threshold voltage and on/off current ratio change significantly in ambient air condition. In order to analyze the degradation of the device, transistors were measured in vacuum, dry N2 and air environment as a function of time. In vacuum and dry N2 atmosphere, saturation field effect mobility and threshold voltage variations are relatively small compared to those measured in ambient condition.To realize an air stable device, we applied a passivation layer which protects the device from oxygen or water molecules which is believed to be the source of the degradation. With the passivation layer, the threshold voltage shift was reduced suggesting that a proper passivation layer is a prerequisite in organic-based electronics.
